GRAYSON

I was punishing her but I might as well flog myself here because I’m the one being tortured for hurting her. Pain makes her difficult but also behave.
My trouble maker Luna should mind her business from now on.
We cannot make any mistakes from now on.
There are a lot of lives at stake here. I cannot have her ruin all the remaining packs these Triad have been protecting for years now.
I can ruin the world for her but I don’t think I can take any more life either.
“It’s fucking done,” I said, looking at Kade’s stupid smirk. He told me I need to push Jess harder to break her and hurt her so she would be occupied while he plotted our plan.
His first option is to chain and cage her.
“What about Riot and Pierce?”
I rubbed a rough hand down my face. ” It’s done either.”
“You killed them both?”
“I’m not a monster, Kade. Those are still my family.”
“Even Riot?”
Especially Riot.
It took me enough time to realize we are just both an output of my father’s cruel desires.
Pierce however made his own decision based on love. That fucking idiot loves Jessica so much he destroyed himself for it.
I will still not forgive them. I need fucking time to process everything.
I don’t think I have enough time to process it though. Just take one step at a time. I need to gather myself and
not ruin it.
If I think about every person I have to protect, I’ll probably lose myself over it.
I love Jessica.
Sometimes I just wish I could cage her.
“Those are fresh scratches, Grayson.” Kade’s gaze follows the scratches Jessica made last night. I enjoyed

pushing her to the edge and I enjoyed the pain too. “Do you know what happened to her in that dungeon?”
“Are you my fucking oracle or confider because you’re lacking some wisdom here.”
Damn it.
I need some fresh air.
Kade just chuckles when I walk out and find myself in the path of the pit where we held the damn hybrids, The night that Jessica and I went here, these hybrids were already caged.
The alphas took their own time to hunt them down alive so some healers and learners from their own pack could have some tests on it and figured out how to reverse this shit.
We long believe it’s Jessica’s bite that made the transition but Theo experimented.
He did his research through these wolves and they are as dangerous as he can be.
I don’t know what he’s trying to build or what he’s trying to achieve and yet, just because of that ambition, it ruined everything.
That’s why I’m afraid for Jessica. Not because she’s as dangerous as these hybrids but because she has ambitions of her own.
Just by looking at her wolf, I can already see how much trouble the future has for her.
So I need to tame her.
I’ve been doing that for years actually.
I’ve been trying to tame her and yet I keep on failing anytime.
My wolf wanted me to just let her be, because as much as I talked down on her I recognize her own strength but fuck a man who wants to just protect her love.
Yes, fuck me.
“Grayson!”
Logan shouted and I quickly recognized his voice. He’s in the closest cell in this pit and he’s the only lucid
here too. Others killed themselves but Logan looks fine. Just like what Jessica said.

Get me out of here! I’m okay. I’m not these monsters!”
I would love to. In fact, I’ve been trying for the past weeks but I couldn’t. Because Kade and the other alphas believe he still got her blood in his system.
“Soon, Logan. Just hang on, okay?”
I didn’t think about it before.

Logan is Jessica’s best friend. I never regard how this will hurt her either.
I know I’m a fucking asshole in my own ways but I didn’t know I was this asshole.
He tried to shout my name again but I’m already bailing out.

I’m a coward to face these fucking monsters because they are the reasons I’ve lost everything.
Jessica is wrong.
I’m the greatest monster that she’d ever create.
I am her legacy.
I can slaughter these hybrids if I want to. I can offer her their hearts and we can finally live in peace.
“I wasn’t aware you’re this weak to not try and break free.”
Jack chuckles, his eyes glaring at me as he continues to sleep in the room I’ve put him in. He has no right to tell Jessica about this place.
“She screams so loud, do you know that?”
Jack is just provoking me. I just taught him a lesson to never mess with me again but the damn asshole is too crazy to even know that.
“I’m well–aware.” He scoffs when I slide myself inside the cell and join him. “What else did you tell her?”
He put a hand on his face, trying to ignore my questions. “Don’t you trust your mate, Grayson?”
“I don’t trust you.”
“Why? Because Pierce betrayed you?”
Asshole.
Jack shifts on his position, pacing me now. We’ve known each other for so long I know he won’t betray me and he has his own good intentions too. Sometimes, he does it in his most ridiculous ways.
When I realized Jessica was my mate, I had no one to confide too, I cannot exactly tell it to my best friend because he’s her little sister. So I confide everything to Jack.
We were both young then and I even offered him my position here but he declined.
He’s just too focused on his own self to care about the others.
Jack is not a typical alpha. He got his own shitty problems at home so he is always here.
“Do you think we can share her?”
“Stop talking.”

“What do you want, Grayson?” He said with amusement. “Don’t tell me you already fought? Ah right. You didn’t. You probably fucked her enough to shut her up.”
It’s my fault.
I told him enough to get curious with Jessica.
“She asked me to tell her everything she’d done to hurt me in the past.”
“And your list probably lasts ‘till sunrise?”
I barked a laugh. “Close enough. But no. I’ve made her feel all of those pains.”
“And you fucking regret it?”
I nodded.
Fucking her was addicting. It’s making me sane and safe and satiable. But, it didn’t do anything in my growing conscience after I learned everything that happened to her in that dungeon.
“I want to be soft for her.”
Jack frowns. “Soft? Not exactly your style.”
“Right. But still, I wanted to love her softly so she can heal whatever trauma she has from…Theo.”
I finally recognize the pain crawling in my heart. I know how much she suffers from all of these and guess what? I’m ambitious too.
I’m ambitious, dreaming of a life where we can just have a fresh start.
When she’s so far from me in training, throwing her little dagger stares, I’m already imagining a future with her.
However, now that she’s so close to me, I cannot imagine any future. Because there are so many dangers around us.
Sometimes, I wake up at night just staring at her face afraid she’ll vanish again.
I don’t want to go through the same pain of losing her.
“Then why are you telling me this, Grayson? And not her?”
It took me a while before I could answer Jack. It took me a while to know what my answer is. Because the truth is I don’t know if I can tell these kinds of things to her.
Jessica has been through enough.
She’s been through enough. I’m so afraid these things will only hurt her.
“You’re fated Grayson. It’s written on the moon. So what are you so afraid of?”
